1999 Volvo C70 review from UK and Ireland
"Smooth Going Fast Cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In-Dash Multi CD player jammed. Dealer to do an exchange swap for a repaired unit. Costing me 150 UK pounds.
Heated wing-mirror failing. Easily replaced with new one costing me fifty UK pounds.
General comments?
I would rate the car as no racy performer, but a smooth going fast cruiser on the motorways. In town and around country roads it really does drink petrol almost 20 miles per gallon. The motorway is where the best economy can be achieved at 30+ miles per gallon. A full 70 litre tank of petrol costs me almost 50 UK pounds. A part from costs you really get some nice head turn looks and some even comment on not believing it's a Volvo.
